huskers1 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 If this guy is as athletic as I'm hearing then I wouldn't doubt it if Watson used him like OU used Greshem. Run the hurry up and keep him in on passing and running downs. That's just a huge mismatch when the defense has nickel in and you have an extra tight end in the game. Link to comment
Reebsker Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Great commit! Hopefully we will utilize the TE more in future games. Link to comment
papio2chi Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Confirmed with rivals...committed last night! Link to comment
irieboy8 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Confirmed with rivals...committed last night! sooo if we have 16 and maybe headed for 20 who do we like to see fill out the remaining four?? as for this class i think it has some great talent... i'd just like to see us go after top talent early, often, and compete...... we have seen the staff eek out some great kids but we have also heard lots of stories about ineptness too.... hard to say.... but you cant complain about a lot of guys in this class CC, CR, JG, MM, etc.....

HuskerBruin Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Between Harper and Rome, Nebraskans might be able to name their boys "Chase" again soon. But I would never do that. Link to comment
Danimal Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Great get, this class is really filling quickly. Hope he can have an impact next season. Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Great news. Now to figure out how to get the TE involved in the offense again. Link to comment

NU's greatest weapon in Recruiting is Game Day visits. Has been for a long time, this is why you won't ever see the NU recruiting classes get rolling until after the season starts. It is the same rhetoric in April-August every year, why can't NU recruit when everyone else (which just so happens to be a few elite schools) has 20 already? Link to comment
Husker4lif3 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 The only problem with getting recruits late is that most (not all of them) of the guys or higher seem to commit earlier and earlier in the past couple of years. We need to start BSing or something to get them to come earlier!! Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Actually, a third of the Rivals 100 remains uncommitted at this point. Half of the top 10. Remember, these are the guys who want to announce on TV signing day or at one of the all-star games so they'll delay as long as they can and I don;t think that will change no matter how many guys Mack Brown signs early. Not sure why Harper was waiting, but he's N now. Link to comment

Not sure why Harper was waiting, but he's N now. Not 100% this is the reason why Harper committed now, but I'm guessing he was waiting to see if Oklahoma would offer him. I read a couple of weeks ago that OU wanted to take another TE and was considering Harper and Austin Haywood. OU offered Haywood and he committed last week. My best guess is that Harper saw that OU was done taking TEs and then decided to go with the next school on his list (NU). Link to comment
AngryHusker88 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Or he saw us kick Oklahoma in the ass Link to comment
huskerdana Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I have seen a couple of different things about this kid. How big his he 6'6 or 6'4? Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Rivals JUCO top 50 lists Harper as the 28th overall JUCO player. Link to comment
